Calling base class functions from a derived one

[Verolix]

Ok. Thanks. I got that MDI child creation. Now I have an integer variable named OpenWindows that i declared as Public in my frmMain class. What I need now is how do I change OpenWindows' value from frmMain's child - frmText when it's closing? The code below doesn't work: Private Sub frmText_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing Dim blabla As New frmMain blabla.OpenWindows -= 1 End Sub

Not sure about your specific problem, or the wisdom of your approach, but to get to base class methods, use base. At least, that's now C# works. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

To add to what Christian said, the word your looking for is MyBase. This will allow you access the base class members.

MyBase.baseClassMethod()
